from The Strachans of Glenkindie

from Records of Aboyne Note:

Referring to the naming of the laird of Glenkindie, above, as 'Patrick', Allardyce comments:

"This is evidently a mistake. From a Retour amongst Glenkindie papers, as well as other references, it is clear there were not two Patricks in succession." ^{1 2}
